Traditional coleslaw is typically gluten-free, as it’s usually made with shredded cabbage, carrots, and a mayonnaise-based dressing, none of which contain gluten. However, it’s important to check the ingredients list or ask about preparation methods when eating out, as some variations may include gluten-containing additives or be prepared in a way that introduces cross-contamination.
Rich in vitamins: Cabbage, the main ingredient, is high in vitamins C and K.
Good source of fiber: Cabbage and other vegetables provide dietary fiber, which aids digestion.
Low in calories: When made with a light dressing, coleslaw can be a low-calorie side dish.
Antioxidant properties: Cabbage contains antioxidants that may help fight inflammation and reduce the risk of certain diseases.
Hydrating: Raw vegetables in coleslaw have high water content, contributing to hydration.
Provides essential minerals: Ingredients like carrots and cabbage offer minerals such as potassium and calcium.
May support heart health: The fiber and nutrients in coleslaw ingredients can contribute to cardiovascular health.
Potential cancer-fighting properties: Cruciferous vegetables like cabbage contain compounds that may help prevent certain types of cancer.
Supports digestive health: The fiber and probiotics (if using fermented ingredients) can promote gut health.
Weight management: As a low-calorie, high-fiber food, it can be part of a weight management diet.Note that these benefits can vary based on the specific ingredients and preparation method used in the coleslaw.
Individuals with cabbage allergies
People with severe digestive issues or inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g., Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis)
Those on a low-fiber diet as prescribed by their doctor
Individuals with difficulty digesting raw vegetables
People with compromised immune systems, if the coleslaw contains raw eggs in the dressing
Those following a low-FODMAP diet, as cabbage is high in FODMAPs
Individuals on blood thinners (e.g., warfarin), due to the high vitamin K content in cabbage
People with thyroid issues, if consuming large amounts regularly (cabbage contains goitrogens)
Those trying to reduce sodium intake, as many coleslaw recipes are high in salt
Individuals with a history of kidney stones, due to the oxalate content in cabbage
People with sulfur sensitivity, as cabbage is high in sulfur compoundsRemember, these are general guidelines, and individual tolerances may vary. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized dietary advice.

What is Tolerase® G?
A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
